Another British Tradition: The Pudding

Baked or steamed, whether pie or tart, flan, flummory, or fool, the Traditional British Pudding conjures up images of love and home for many. No meal could ever be complete without this dish, served with warm custard or thick cream.In this day of ultra healthy eating and doing without, many forget what simple pleasures can be had from finishing a meal with one of these simple dishes.

Ask a Brit what comes to mind when you mention Traditional British puddings and the responses are nearly universal: comfort, home, love, family.

From one woman I talked to, "We used to have treacle sponge, jam sponge, roly poly, spotted dick, bread and butter pudding, proper rice pudding. What I call proper puddings.They remind me of home'. I recommend to everyone to taste it!!!!! It's irresistible and so delicious!!!!!!
